Contributions by Lucius Grisebach, et al. Through images and text by art historians, this book serves as a “comprehensive record of Giacometti’s life and work” (from the dust jacket). “This book underscores the continuity between the two remarkable bodies of work that characterize his career: the pre-1935 works, which included the finest of all Surrealist sculptures, and the post-war masterpieces…the discussion here of the relationship between his two- and three-dimensional works reveals him to have been as great a painter as he was a sculptor” (from the dust jacket).
